Private Dermatologist in Central London: Medical & Cosmetic Expertise You Can Trust

Finding the right private dermatologist in Central London can be overwhelming — but choosing a consultant-led clinic ensures you receive accurate diagnosis, safe treatment, and results that last. At Skinhorizon Clinic, Maida Vale, every consultation is personally led by Dr Mohammad Ghazavi (MD, FRCP, MRCP Dermatology), offering the combined expertise of medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology under one roof.

Whether you’re struggling with acne, eczema, pigmentation, or looking to rejuvenate your skin through advanced laser and injectable techniques, our goal is to provide ethical, evidence-based, and highly individualised care.

Why Choose a Consultant Dermatologist in Central London?

A consultant dermatologist is a fully accredited medical specialist trained in diagnosing and treating over 2,000 skin conditions, from common concerns like acne and eczema to complex autoimmune and pigmentary disorders. In the private sector, this ensures you receive hospital-level expertise in a discreet, comfortable setting.

At Skinhorizon Clinic, every treatment plan is consultant-directed — whether it’s medical management, procedural dermatology, or cosmetic rejuvenation. You’re never passed to unqualified staff or sales-driven providers.

Medical Dermatology Expertise

Our clinic provides comprehensive diagnosis and management for a full range of skin, hair, and nail disorders. Using advanced tools such as dermatoscopy and digital hair analysis, we accurately identify underlying causes and tailor treatment plans that combine topical, oral, and procedural options.

• Acne & Acne Scars: From prescription-grade medications to microneedling, exosome therapy, and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT).
• Eczema & Psoriasis: Managed through personalised regimens, patch testing, and consultant-led phototherapy where indicated.
• Rosacea & Pigmentation: Treated with vascular laser, prescription skincare, and barrier-restoring protocols.
• Skin Cancer Checks: Full-body mole mapping and biopsy performed by a consultant dermatologist.

Cosmetic Dermatology & Advanced Aesthetics

Skinhorizon Clinic integrates medical safety with aesthetic precision. All cosmetic procedures are doctor-led, ensuring both artistry and anatomical safety. We use CE-marked, clinically validated devices across all treatments, including:

• Endolift® — sub-dermal laser lifting for jawline and under-eye tightening.
• Profhilo® — skin bio-remodelling for hydration and elasticity.
• Polynucleotide injections — cellular repair and collagen stimulation.
• LED Light Therapy — accelerates healing and calms inflammation.
• Exosome therapy — next-generation skin and hair regeneration.

Dermatology Conditions We Commonly Treat

Our private dermatology service covers a wide spectrum of skin concerns, including:

• Acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis
• Pigmentation and melasma
• Vitiligo and autoimmune skin disorders
• Skin cancer, moles, and precancerous lesions
• Hair loss, scalp inflammation, and folliculitis

Consultant Dermatologist vs Cosmetic Practitioner: What’s the Difference?

Unlike beauty therapists or non-specialist injectors, consultant dermatologists have medical training, hospital experience, and a deep understanding of anatomy, pharmacology, and pathology. This means your safety is prioritised — especially for procedures involving lasers, injectables, or prescription-only products.

Technologies at Skinhorizon Clinic

We invest in high-precision diagnostic and medical-grade devices for optimal safety and outcomes:

• LASEmaR® 1500 Endolift for collagen tightening.
• Opatra® LED Phototherapy for acne and redness.
• Dermapen 4® Microneedling for scars and rejuvenation.
• QuantifiCare® 3D Analysis for face and body mapping.

Insurance and Private Referrals

We are recognised by major UK health insurers including AXA, Aviva, Vitality, and WPA. Self-funded patients can also book directly without referral. Our transparent fee structure ensures clarity from the outset, and most consultations include immediate diagnostic or procedural options if desired.
